Some scripts can save you hours (the disk above took me about a minute) or do things better that you could do manually so learning how to install them is a very useful skill.
I followed the installation instruction to the letter, but the script is not showing up in layers/transfom or any other menu Ofnuts, I've tried both plugin folders,
I did notice that there was a "query new plugins" pop up while loading Gimp so it seems it's seeing the script, obviously I don't know enough about Gimp to go trouble shooting and I don't want to mess things up, do you have any idea where I'm going wrong?
So you unzipped the ZIP, tooks the .py and put it in one of the two plug-ins directory?
Is there a Filters ➤ Python-fu ➤ Console entry in your menus?
Yes I followed the instructions, I couldn't see it because I didn't have Python installed, that was a dry run on an old laptop I use to test installs.
I installed Python and It's up and running on that laptop now.
I'm guessing I need to learn more about layers though, I asummed I could select a wheel, from my image (well it's a tape reel actually) then rotate it, but it rotates the whole image, it's really fast so would save an awful lot of time.
I get the feeling this will have to be done with multi layers, like I say I'm a comlpete novice when it comes to image manipulation, I'm trying to learn from YouTube and help from you guys, I'm sure most people have learned the basics of IM at school with PS or whatever, but there were no computers when I went to school, it was a long time ago. ? once agian thanks for the help, every little bit helps. ?
